About Us

This Dancesport UK on-line shop is designed and hosted by Dancesportinfo.net and run by ZEM Software, the same company who runs www.dancesport.uk.com, UK's first website dedicated to Ballroom, Latin and other forms of partner dancing.

Returns and Exchanges

Videos, DVDs, CDs and computer software products can only be returned only if faulty. Items cut to size or made to measure are non-returnable. All other goods can be returned for refund or exchange within 30 days from purchase date. Goods have to be returned in the unused, resaleable condition and the original packaging (CD cases, video cases, shoe boxes, etc.) have to be included. Otherwise we reserve the right to charge the customer for replacing the boxes.

Some rare combinations of model/size/width/material are marked (Spec ord). These are "special order" shoes, which we do not stock. We will order them from the manufacturer for you, however on the condition that these can not be cancelled or returned. Also we are unable to guarantee any set delivery dates, as these shoes are often made to order by manufacturers.

Return instructions

Invoice number

Your invoice number is your return authorisation number. Please enclose an original invoice or its photocopy with the goods you are sending back as a proof of purchase from us. Alternatively write your invoice number, name and address on a plain sheet of paper. Also enclose a note for us stating clearly if you require refund or exchange.

Return costs

If you still have our original packaging, in some countries you might be able to send the goods back by simply writing RETURN TO SENDER on the package and handing them back to your local delivery person. This would not cost you anything, but it is your responsibility to check with your local post-office if that method would work in your case.

If you can not send the goods back by "RETURN TO SENDER" service, then we suggest you use a plain, air mail small packet service. It should take approx a week from most countries to UK. (UK customers may use second class mail)

Please note the postage costs are not refundable, except when a mistake was made on our end and we shipped goods different from what a customer ordered.

If you are sending the goods from outside of Europen Union countries, you have to fill in customs declaration. You should also write clearly on the outside of the package RETURN/EXCHANGE. This is for UK customs, who otherwise may stop the parcel and impose import duties, which would create additional problems.

Return address

ZEM Software Ltd. will not be responsible for any packages lost by the Royal Mail, other shipper or not delivered to us for any other reason. UK customers are advised to return the goods by recorded delivery which is trackable.

Paying for your order

All our prices are shown in British Pound Sterling (GBP).

Payment methods

We accept VISA, MasterCard, EuroCard, JCB, Switch, Solo, Electron cards, International money orders, and payments by British cheques. We also accept official purchase orders from British government and educational establishments.

We regret, but can not offer credit terms to overseas customers.

Exchange rates

When you pay for goods by a credit card, YOUR credit card company automatically converts our GBP price into your currency, for example USD. The exchange rates used by YOUR credit card company may vary daily and we are unable to tell you exactly how many $ your credit card company will charge you. That is totally beyond our control.

Any purchases from the Dancesport UK Shop will appear on your card as "ZEM / DANCESPORT UK".

Taxes

All prices are shown exclusive of VAT (sales tax). UK and EC customers will have VAT added at current rate. Other customers do not pay any sales tax.
